Enable Server Manager / Hyper-V Manager in “Turn windows features on & off”

When you try to connect you will most likely get an AUTH error if your host isn’t a part of your domain. This is because Hyper-V Manager Doesn’t prompt for credentials, so you have to manually authenticate (dumb).

You can establish alternate credentials to use to connect to the Hyper-V server by typing the following command at a command prompt on the remote computer:

cmdkey /add:<ServerName> /user:<UserName> /pass:<password>


Enable Remote Management on the server.

Enable Local Administrator account on the server (the one you set up during install is fine)
